Chalet 2006

Okay, the chalet was kinda flop. I ended up paying 40 over bucks from my own pocket to get it going. And that's on top of the $30 I paid. And also I still owe some people that wanted a refund of $30 that they originally paid... cause Nicholas overestimated the amount of food we needed for bbq. So we had to do a 2-say bbq instead of the intended 1 day.

Well, that's kinda good cause it was so much better on the second day than the first.

Anyway, it went relatively well. We went out to watch the sunrise, to find out in the end we couldn't see it from where we were standing in the beach. Haha... damn jack. So we waited for quite abit, and I fell into a sleepy dose there, just threw myself into slumber on the beach bench. Seems like East Coast is really really cold at night, the wind was worse than the air con back in the chalet. The beach was fun at night, people actually fished at night, and we saw two guys playing guitar and singing (GAY). So we sat and talked about stuff, very random stuff. And we saw VJC camping out in the open.

East Coast Park, Wei Min, Salty, Me, and Eugene.We didn't even get to play basketball, and wm brought the ball along. This is probably about 2 am on the first night. Then we decided to head for the beach.

GHOST! GHOST! As usual someone would bug an almost perfect shot. :] hahaha... just joking. We just went to the beach to wait for the sunrise. Then decided to do some stupid stuff like Chicken Dance!

Marco and I were abit high that night. With those big smokey clouds fogging the strong beams of the moonlight- it looked like East Coast was just a replica of some cheesy horror movie. So we had some fun with my handphone trying to do some self pics in the ghostly scenery. It was a flop though, as you can see my camera sucks at night.. all those coloured pixel lines... Haha

Well, this is exactly what I meant. I mean, YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE THE COOL EMOTION I HAD OVER MY FACE.

*Hello*? Team Tuls on the line, come confess your obnoxious behavior or prepared to get gyrated. (This picture is so gayyyyy.)

I really wonder why there's a platform for peeing. It's even too short for young kids. It's meant to practice squatting. IPPT shit or something. Well, that's what I think the stupid platform is for. :]

It's 3 am and we're having fun!

The next night Colin and Ernest came, but really late. They had to clear the food, and we had so much leftovers, all gone to Mr Rubbish Bin. We even cleared this whole tray of fried rice in there (untouched, mind you) cause it went bad after the first night. Dedric kept saying how could fried rice go bad? Hah! It does ok.. cause their eency weeny bits of cooked meat that can rot. Ernie went to have some maggi mee with us. I think he actually likes Pussycat Dolls! Cause he kept trying to sound professional for Don't Cha. LOL

Preparing the Charcoal for second day bbq. The fire just couldn't start cause the firestarters kept diminishing before it burnt any charcoal.

We had to thank Mr Ernie Sia here who actually had some experience with BBQ. The rest of us just sat and watch as he made his houses for those firestarters. Though professional, those firestarters were the ones that diminished in the end. Well, he blamed me and my amateurism. I agree, I shouldn't had played with his charcoal houses.

All these happened outside while this bunch of slackers barred themselves indoor playing a stupid football/basketball game. Uber tulssy. Manchester City 3, man U 0. HAHA! Man U sucks.

We kinda screwed up the fire, and Dedric was going nuts at how things should be done. He's always such a hilarious bugger. The rest of us? Just looked as he tried to revive the fire. Adn finally we had the barbecue going. i did alot of prawn shelling. And Ded ric said it was stupid cause that made the marinateed flavour go off. Aiya, heck it. Marco and Wilson and Ded were the Barbecuers. They did all the food. So must thank them for their effort!

Then we went to sleep. Kind cramp in the chalet room, and we were tulssifying each other. Like we would say crazy things about each other and laugh. Like gar meng and I were labelled tulssifers/sisters/whatever. And we took pictures of Nicholas' butt cleavage. VERY FUNNY. But sadly, I can't post it up because it's public humiliation. And that's the last thing Nicholas needs.

The next morning. Attack Of The Bees. There were so many bees outside that were attracted to our honey jar that we've left open outside overnight. (I dunno which stupid bugger did that), and when we went near the honey jar, there was this mass number of drowned bees in it. And we did everything, we lit tissue papers to smoke them off, poured water, swipe them with paper plates, squish them with tongs... okay, the last one was fake. I just grabbed that honey jar with bees flying all over and dump it inside the rubbish dump. It was one HUGE battle - The 40 over bees Versus Seth, Jy and I. But at least we won! HAHA. But after an hour of tormenting bee-shooing.

I guess we won't have anything close to this next year, or the year after already. So this is the end huh? Of a long 4 years, and of any event that's gonna hold us together. Actually, the very fact that we're not gonna see each other again, is somewhat comforting. Comforting in the sense that you know, some of us are gonna make it in life, others will fall... but our paths are finally having a bent. There would be no more time to come back and reminisce and remain friends, cause there wouldn't be a chance.

Maybe I'm too sentimental. I don't think it means much to many of my class peeps.

Oh well, what am I to do? I am part of a dying species man! Any woman can see that. ahahahaa.. Well, the chalet was overall fun, and like how Wei Min put it. It was better than nothing. :]

So guys out there, 4ST was really better than nothing. :]
